Her party was great! She opened one present (a doll from Ami:) and she was set... I opened the rest. She had a great time! I am so thankful for all our family and friends. I know not everyone could come, but we are thankful for you ALL that are in our lives. Here are some pictures of the party.
This is what I see now every time Braydon is over....

Here are some tips for a toddler's birthday:
1. Pick a theme
2. If possible, find some help so you can focus on getting things ready for the party
3. Have the kiddo(s) nap!!! No one wants to cry at their party... no matter what the song says
4. Keep it going.... try not to just sit forever.
5. It doesn't have to be a marathon. Your child WILL get exhausted!
6. Try not to stress- this one is so hard for me. Eric had to constantly remind me to chill out. You don't want to miss out.
7.**** If you are video taping, make sure the lens is open****** I will look back at Delaney's 1t birthday and.... just listen. (I still love you babe:)
These are just the things that I have figured out with all 2 parties I have done!!

Delaney's party was so much fun! All the people - all the kids - all the commotion! And the cake was fabulous. You should be the new Cake Boss for Kids!

It was a very fun party!! You did a great job! And seriously great job on the cake! Can't wait to see what's in store for day 4.... :)
ReplyDeleteYou didn't need any decorations or entertainment, Delaney was all the party needed. She was adorable, whether she was kissing the babies, searching for your Dad or just dancing and falling on the ground. What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteWow Nicole! Great cake! You are such a good mom. Your kids will look back on your efforts and know how much you cared. It's the little things......
